What’s in the Box: Nursery Rhymes

This month’s Experience Early Learning’s preschool curriculum kit is sure to please once again! The Nursery Rhymes theme is another of my favorites. It’s rich in literacy, high on the cuteness level and covers such a wide range of topics. Did I ever mention that I need change, novelty, and variety too? Just like a child. I’m always glad to see my new kit arrive. It’s like a fresh start with new inspiration to teach, fresh goals for my group and an excitement to share these wonderful materials in meaningful ways. This post covers What’s in the Box: Nursery Rhymes.

What’s in the Box: Nursery Rhymes

I continue to be impressed with the wide variety of materials, tools, and activities Experience Early Learning provides. This month I laminated all the Daily Topic posters so I can save them and make a nursery rhyme book. The rhyme pages are so cute, I must keep them! I love Experience Early Learning for their adorable illustrations each month. I’m not sure how they do it.

Be sure to look for the nursery rhyme storybook, this month’s manipulatives and the Hey Diddle Diddle puzzle, which I’m partial to since it’s the name of my child care. 🙂 Day 11 Pat-a-Cake materials are so sweet and I’m looking forward to playing the sight word and number games!
